Well we're here back in the swing of the school year. Every class has it's own uniqueness and that keeps life interesting.
We've been learning and talking about pollution in science and today I had my students respond to a writing prompt where I asked them to explain pollution to someone who didn't understand it. Here a few snippets of their responses:
"Polluted mean careless people leave junk around and so it can go into the water. It can make it hard to purify our water when that happens."
"Things that are okay to throw out the car window are apple cores, banana peels, orange peels, etc. The things that are not okay to throw out your car window are paper, Styrofoam, egg cartons, plastic, etc."
"Littering and pollution shouldn't be happening because we need stuff to eat. We need air, but if this keeps happening we will die."
I think they get it.
